Clear. Medium-bodied. Grass, green herbs. Compact texture. Rather austere and full on the nose. Somewhat grainy, with a tight feel on the palate. Nice spicy accents. Finishes with a touch of heat.

42Below is one of the world's best vodka brands and comes from New Zealand.

For the past couple of hundred years we have been doing our thing at the bottom of the world, growing a bit of food, playing a bit of rugby and heading down to the beach every weekend for a nice lie down in the sun. It's a great place to live, relax and make some of the world's best vodka.

At 42Below Vodka we know to make great vodka, perfect on its own or in vodka cocktails. Our perfect drink comes from starting with the perfect ingredients. The 42Below brand is lucky enough to have the 42Below spring located just down the road. We draw all our water exclusively from here because for some reason it just tastes better than water from anywhere else. It's this water that is really the secret behind our 42Below Vodka and our South Gin and we had nothing to do with making it so pristine – it's all Uncle Nature's handiwork. Some nights we'll go down there just to fill up the kettle to make a really excellent cup of tea.

Kiwifruit vodka had to happen eventually and the only reason it didn't happen earlier is because Kiwifruit as a flavor is a little bastard to grt right. It took us three years and cost us a bomb so you better frickin' like it.

Palette: Hugh scents of apples, pears and every ripe fruit, with a flavor of soft kiwi, honeydew melon and mint, and a sharp, spicy finish.

Loves to be mixed with fresh crisp fruit.

Particularly recommended if you like a richer, fuller style. Use in cocktails. Very rich on the palate but not at all cloying because of the dryness of the alcohol, which gives excellent balance. Very, very neutral on the nose with just a faint hint of ethyl alcohol and no evidence of any impurities. Very smooth -- wonderfully so with hardly a trace of needle -- a good mellowness, and big mouth feel.

We’re craft distillers. We started Hangar One in an old military structure (low rent). We thought, let’s make really serious vodka. We do everything the way the big guys don’t: we use rare and expensive ingredients which yield wonderful authentic flavor. Instead of buying flavoring, we use real fruit. Hangar One is insanely great vodka. PS: it makes amazing mixed drinks.

This weird & rare South Asian citrus variety is beautifully aromatic. The lemon flavor is delicate but deep & complex. Folks in China hang them in their closets to make their clothes smell good. We can’t get them all the time so sometimes we run out.

Unusual & knobbly Indonesian lime. We use the leaves too - they are the ones you see in Thai cuisine. Great fresh lime taste, without any of that artificial overtones that spoil so many lime products.

Totally fresh tangerines in the infusion, with fresh tangerine flowers added. It’s like peeling an actual tangerine, a really good one: the tiny spray of oil that comes up from your thumbnail is exactly what our vodka smells and tastes like.

Notes: This vodka is produced in Sweden (land of vikings, Ikea, Lute Fisk, and aquavit, among other things). A vodka crafted with winter wheat and using water directly from a deep aquifer to bring the vodka down to 80 proof. Unlike many spirits these days, they do not use distilled, deionized, designer water so Heavy Water actually tastes like something other than grain alcohol and little else.

Appearance: Faultlessly clear, on swirling, it leaves a thin clear coat on the inside of the glass which then scallops developing legs and droplets.

First Impression: Creamy spinach/vegetal notes, vanilla, crème soda, zest, slightly spicy, slight marzipan/almomds. Nice mineral body to it.

Taste: Slightly oily mouth feel on the tongue, mild bite to it on the edges of your tongue. Very nice grain taste with a fleeting sweetness, then dry, turning a touch sweet, then on to a drier, long finish.

Drinks: Excellent martini that stands up to an olive or twist. Great all around for all the drinks we tried it on. Makes a wonderful bone dry vodka and tonic. A vodka for adults who want to TASTE the vodka they are using - not some flavorless soulless grain alcohol. www.spiritsreview.com

The heart of Vodka 7000’ comes from our favorite grain, oats. According to old distilling manuals, distillers from the 1800’s considered oats to make a superior tasting libation. Today, oats are no longer used because of their high cost and difficulty to distill. But we think their subtle nutty and vanilla flavor is worth the extra effort. That’s why we’ve created Vodka 7000’, the only vodka in the word that’s made from oats.

Hand crafted by Jean-Marc Daucourt in the Cognac region of France, Jean-Marc XO Vodka marries cutting edge French spirits and winemaking techniques to create an extraordinary Vodka possessing a floral bouquet, complex & elegant wheat flavors, a silky texture and very long finish.

* Jean-Marc XO Vodka is distilled nine times in very small batches. French copper Alambic stills are employed in the creation process, which takes several weeks from start to finish.

* Jean-Marc Daucourt selected four particular French wheat grains for their delicate and harmonious flavors. They are called Ysengrain, Orvantis, Azteque, and Chargeur. Each wheat grain is separated from its chaff before distillation in order to eliminate any bitterness and reveal the wheat varietal's flavor.

* Jean-Marc XO uses only pure Gensac spring water from the Cognac area, filtered naturally for centuries through Grande Champagne limestone.

* To create as pure and natural a spirit as possible, Jean-Marc XO is micro-oxygenated just after distillation. This innovative technique was borrowed from First Growth winemakers in nearby Bordeaux.

* To finish, Jean-Marc XO Vodka is charcoal-filtered through Limousin oak, using special Daucourt family techniques learned over generations of spirits-making.

To best enjoy Jean-Marc XO Vodka, serve it shaken in a very dry martini, on the rocks, or neat in a Cognac glass.

Compare Jean-Marc XO to your favorite ultra premium vodka...you will immediately appreciate the difference that Jean-Marc's hand craftsmanship makes.

First introduced in the U.S. in 1990, Ketel One Vodka is the creation of one of Holland's oldest distilling dynasties, the Nolet family of Schiedam. Since its introduction, Ketel One has been acknowledged as perhaps the finest vodka available to this country's discerning consumers-a reputation that has been borne out by the brand's phenomenal growth; in fact, it currently ranks as one of Holland's fastest-growing exports to the U.S. From 1993 through 1996, sales grew by a factor of ten. In 1996, and again in 1997, Ketel One was awarded "Hot Brand Status" by the trade publication Impact in recognition of its record-setting expansion.

Clear. Medium-bodied. Charcoal, minerals, licorice, flowers. Compact texture. Quite intense mineral nose. Smoky accents blend well with pretty light- floral notes. A rough and powerful style.

For 10 generations, the Nolet family in Holland has been distiling the finest handmade spirits, using the same technique and recipes perfected by Joannes Nolet in 1691. Ketel One Vodka is handcrafted in small batches. Named after the original distiling kettle number one, this vodka is truly unique. Ketel One is distilled using traditional potstills, filtered through charcoal, and rested under ground in tile-lined tanks until perfect. This costly, painstaking process yields a limited quantity of vodka that possesses a refined elegance and unmatched clarity and smoothness.
